    Silver WRX..before and after

    Hey guys,

    Been a while since I`ve posted. Thought I`d post some pics of before and afters of my friend`s Subaru Impreza WRX. It was bought back in March, yet had more contaminants than I`ve ever seen. He always "Gas station" washed it, without wax. Never hand washed. A rub across the hood felt like 500 grit sandpaper. Lotsa clay barring led to some zymol. Not a bad first detail job for a damaged car!

    P.S.--Notice the lack of reflection on the roof (yes, this is AFTER wash and dry)

    Sure, it`s shiny, but how smooth is it, and how does it look in direct sunlight?

    Well, that`s that.


    Perhaps sometime I`ll use some REAL stuff on the exterior, but the clay bar did the trick on this one...

    Clay is the bomb I use it alot. The car looks great looks like fire could come out of the back that pipe is huge.

    Weather up here was about the same over cast until about 3PM.

    EBP:


    Well, he says that he wouldn`t want the Sti cause it, according to him, would be either "too expensive" or "too fast" for him. Excuses if you ask me. He could trade in his WRX for the higher model and eat the $$$ that he`s paid so far, but I don`t think he will. :p

    Can`t blame him, but that sti just begs me everyday to trade my civic. I LOVE not having a car note though!
